MacOS support #198

Open brunocrt opened 2 years ago

It would be a good idea build a support for MacOS.

Many MacOS users use python and pyinotify could be used as well!

When I try to install pyinotify using pip on MacOS 11.6 it shows the error message bellow.

inotify is a low-level, Linux-specific API. It's not supported under macOS, or any other operating system, like Windows or the BSDs.
